I always have to keep re applying it..How do you make eyeshadow stay on longer?
You can try a light coat of foundation over your eyelids and then apply shadow.





I find that using an eye primer smoothes out the texture of your eyelids making the eye shadow come on smoothly and look absolutely fabulous. Not to mention it helps it stay on all day. It works great with powder and creme eye shadows.





You can get it from M.A.C. or Sephora. I'm not sure if they sell it at drug stores. You can check and see. :)





Good Luck!! :)How do you make eyeshadow stay on longer?
In the summer espeically your eyemakeup is liable to fade and end up looking like crap. This is why most girls lighten the amount of makeup they wear in the summer, or pick lighter colours that don't visibly fade quickly.





My advice, if you really want to stick with eyeshadow, would be to apply a light coat of foundation on your eyes before applying eyeshadow. This keeps it looking fresh and smooth much longer.





Hope that helps!
MAC Bare Canvas. Cost me $32 but lasts for ever practically. You use a tiny tiny amount and it does wonders. I sometimes use cheapish eye shadows that didn't last long before but now they stay put all day.





BTW, what brush are you using to apply the shadow with? Because that can make a big difference. I used to use the basic ones that come with eye shadows (the spongey ones) and they're crap. I like using brushes like the MAC Fluff Brush or Blending brushes (they're abit pricey so i got some for like $7 each at Priceline).
well.... the best way is to put on an eyeshadow primer. I've heard good things about urban decay but haven't tried it myself.


Or, the cheaper way is to put liquid foundation over your eyelids and then put on your eyeshadow. That's what i do. :)


But, now that it's going into the summer it won't matter as much because normally you'll wear lighter colors, so no one will really notice if ur wearing eyeshadow really.


Have fun
put liquid foundation over your eyes.. make sure its a very light colored foundation.. and while it hasnt dryed yet apply the powder and it does stick longer





if the foundation is dark it might change the color of yoru eye shaddow after time.
i put eye cream on first then the concealer and then i have some shimmer stuff that is colorless that I put on right before the eyeshadow, here is the link for the shimmer stuff

Use an eyeshadow primer, I like this one by Urban Decay, you can get it at Sephora:

they have this new product that you apply under your eyeshadow that helps it stay on longer...sorry i forget what brand makes it.
put foundation on your eyelids before the eyeshadow and it stays on like all day.
eyeshadow primer
put powder on ur eyelids before the actual eyeshadow.. its proven lol
lick the applicator before u put eyeshadow on it then u put it in the shadow and then on ur eye
you should use a eyeshadow base or primer.


like Urban Decay Primer Potion.


or use a base, like a creamy eyeshadow, or you can use concealer. it will help make your eyeshadow stay on longer, since oils produce on your eyelids and kind of make your eyeshadow melts off, so using a base or primer will block the oils. and keep your eyeshadow on way longer (:
